Dude something is going on with MS. I mean first letting Bungie go. Then the closing of FASA studios. And now rumors have sprung up about both Rare and Ensemble going away. Seriously what's going on with MS. |
Worst-best case scenerio time:
Best: They are getting a massive amount of experienced coders together to create Microsoft Gaming Studios Developement team so they have an insanely strong 1st party dev team.
Worst: They don't plan on making another Xbox and are getting rid of most of their devs.

yea well if you've noticed Microsoft Game Studios has been nothing but publishing games not creating them which doesn't bode well for anymore 1st party titles outside of companies they own. So the best case seems unlikely.
|
Yes I have noticed. And you stated exactly why they would want to have a 1st party dev team. So they can actually MAKE the games as well as publish them.
|
Yes but if they did that they wouldn't be laying off employees of those companies but instead absolving the company into Microsoft Game studios. Then it would become a developer. But instead the rumor says they are just getting rid of it entirely. I hope they keep the licenses to the brands or otherwise they'll sell those off.
